Meaning
Links a plural noun of the utu class, for small things, to a verb in the infinitive or to a place: utumenyetso two kwandika, little signs for writing; udukoko two mu byatsi, insects of the grass.
Good to know
Other classes have their own form: cyo, byo, ryo, bwo, rwo, wo, yo. Before an ordinary noun the utu class uses twa instead: udukoko twa malariya. Two also appears in names such as Two Pac.
